No. 9,115,954 B1 to Corsi et al; CN Patent Application No. 102607327 A to Chongqing Jainshe Ind Group Co.

Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 8,234,978 B1 discloses a firing device, comprising: a first hollow cylinder; a second hollow cylinder laterally spaced from and extending substantially parallel to the first hollow cylinder, each of the first and second hollow cylinders having a longitudinal axis, an inner surface and an outer surface, and extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end.

Another Prior art U.S. patent application No. 20060207418 A1 discloses a multi-barrel automatic weapon of the Gatling type wherein there is a single firing pin mechanism activated by a cam and a cam follower for sequentially firing all of the ammunition in a plurality of barrels. The barrels and cam being directly driven by a drive shaft connected directly to an electric motor. The electric motor being powered by a small, low voltage, rechargeable battery.

Another Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 9,115,954 B1 discloses double-barreled bullpup pump-action shotgun has a frame with two forward-extending barrels arranged side-by-side, a pair of tube magazines, each positioned beneath a respective barrel, an action attached to the frame and operable to load ammunition from the tube magazines to the barrels, and a trigger assembly attached to the frame, the action being located at least in part behind the trigger assembly, and the trigger assembly including a trigger linkage to connect the trigger assembly to the action and to operate the hammers behind the bolts.

Another Prior art CN Patent Application No. 102607327 A discloses a Gatling weapon firing mechanism, comprising a cartridge receiver and a bolt installed on the cartridge receiver, wherein the bolt comprises a bolt head, a bolt body and a firing pin spring; the firing mechanism further comprises an unlocking bulge and a locking bulge on the bolt head, a cam curve slot mechanism outside the cartridge receiver, a locking block and an unlocking guide in front of the cartridge receiver and the like. The mechanism provided by the invention has a simple and practical structure, effectively avoids the defect of short life of the extrusion firing pins, also avoids the defect of excessively large rotating moment as the firing pin spring stroke is increased and has the advantages of long service life and small moment.
